Basement and foundation cracks can occur from a variety of circumstances, which should be repaired. Foundation and basement cracks are rarely stable but rather will generally increase in both width and length. Concrete cracks can occur from a variety of reasons, often including soil conditions.

In this case study, unstable clay soil conditions resulted in the cracking of poured concrete walls due to indifferential movement of the soil.

Over 200 lineal ft of foundation cracks were repaired.
